There are situations that need immediate attention from tree removal experts, although there are those minor ones that you may be able to fix by yourself. We are going to assess these situations by giving you an insight into what damages trees and when you need to call for emergency tree removal services. We are a company that has provided reliable tree services to the residents of Seattle and the surrounding areas for years, so you can rest assured that our team of arborists has tackled quite a number of unique challenges to be able to give you the best advice on all matters regarding trees.

What damages trees?

Disease

A tree that has been affected by a disease must be tended to right away. This is because it may become weak and fall, which poses a risk to property or even someone’s life. A diseased tree may also infect others, which leads to the loss of trees that took years to grow. The aesthetic beauty of your residential or commercial property would then end up being severely damaged.

How will I know that a tree has been infected by disease?

The tree will have an unhealthy bark which seems to be peeling, dead branches, a cracked or hollow stem etc. When you notice any unusual signs that could mean that your tree has been affected by illness, you must call an arborist immediately so that they assess the extent of the damage and determine whether the situation can be salvaged. Early detection of tree disease is best for the tree; this way, spreading of the disease would be curbed and if necessary, the tree would be removed to protect the others.

The rains

Rains have an uncanny ability to damage a tree, but our main area of focus is on the soil surrounding the tree. When erosion happens, the tree roots could be badly exposed, which makes the tree unstable and therefore pose a hazard. In the event of strong winds, trees that are located in an eroded place have a high chance of falling and damaging property or even fatally injuring animals and people.

Be sure to constantly examine the area around your trees after heavy rains. If the roots are badly exposed or the tree seems to lean, it would be time to call a certified arborist. This is the best way to keep yourself and your family safe.

Storms

Trees cannot shelter from harsh weather conditions as we do, so they are left exposed to severe damage when a storm strikes. It could be in the form of heavy snow which was too much for the tree to bear; or it could be in the form of strong winds that’ll blow and crack the tree branches. Sometimes these harsh storms can bring down an entire tree. It is always wise to get in touch with emergency tree removal services for the removal of weak or damaged trees.

Should I try to remove the tree by myself?

We would never recommend that you do this, since sometimes trees fall on live electric wires. Trying to deal with a damaged or fallen tree could cause you serious injury considering you may not have the recommended machinery or skill to deal with the problem. You must also keep in mind that you may also be penalized monetarily for illegal tree removals. There is a procedure to be followed when removing trees whether healthy or unhealthy, which means that you are better off getting a certified arborist to handle the situation.

It is important to note that sometimes a tree is removed not because it has been damaged but because it is simply located in an area where it poses a risk to the people or property around. The action is therefore taken as a preventive measure. Instead of waiting for an accident to happen, the smart thing to do is call an arborist to evaluate the situation and suggest the right course of action.
